CONWAY — The Kennett High boys’ basketball team opened the New Year on a positive note with a nice come-from-behind 54-48 victory over Merrimack Valley in the Peter Ames Gymnasium on Monday, but dropped a tough one at the Nest on Wednesday, falling to Coe-Brown Northward Academy 55-50.
KHS now sits at 4-4 in Division II play and 8-4 overall after winning the 42nd annual Mike Lee Holiday Basketball Tournament in Farmington last week.
